It's fine for me as i'd prefer one month wipes, so I'm happy.
But.......... I think the problem lays with the general approach to modded servers, that they are in some way "for pussys" or not really "Hard mode"
It's a snobbish attitude, and one that I admit to having held in the past. But they have a place, and I think the short wipe server is what they should be for.

Whilst modded servers are entirely privately owned, that snobbish attitude is likely to remain.
However............ if FP were to decide to run a few, attitudes might change. Perhaps a x2 server for gather, and a x2 server for trashpile and loot?

maybe x1.5? I don't know what would work, but if FP tried it.... they'd find out.

I want to chip in here to say that I play modded. I play 5x gather because I usually get max 1 day a week where I actually get to play so I don't want to spend the entire day farming only to die and lose most of my progress. Modded let's me play as I do without having to worry that hours of my time will be wasted by 1 or 2 deaths.

Please pick me! I have been wanting Rust for almost as long as i can remember. School has kept me from being able to buy new games and this would truly be a gift of the year..
This game has just the right mix of PvP, roaming and creation possibilities. The most that I'm looking forward to is teaming up with random people running around like myself and raising hell together.
Thanks for making this possible.

We had an Amazon long ago, and we had one cat that liked to fuck with him from the top of his cage when we weren't looking. He'd coexisted with cats for nearly a decade without issue, so it was a new phenomenon. Most of the time, she'd just bat at the cage to scare him. He was pretty chill, so he never retaliated, instead choosing to scurry off to the other side of the cage until the cat was done doing whatever her tiny mammalian brain thought it needed to do. Once we caught on, we started shooing the cat away, and after awhile her prey drive apparently subsided.

After maybe a year of peace, the cat started to sit on top of his cage again. Not to bat at the cage like she did previously, just to taunt him. As if to say "I could eat you, motherfucker. But I'm not going to, because I don't want to." We'd shoo her off, but she'd hop up again after a few hours, and the cycle would repeat. The parrot became increasingly agitated, to the point where we considered moving him to quiet room with a door.

It never got that far. On this fateful day, she sat atop his cage, drooping her tail over the edge, lazily swaying it back and forth just out of reach. She had become content with his prior refusal to retaliate, and she was making sure he knew who was boss.

What she didn't count on was that this motherfucker was made of pure contempt by this point, and had already decided he wasn't taking her shit anymore. The instant her tail slipped between the bars, he reached out and grabbed a mouthful. By this time, everyone in a one mile radius was acutely aware that a cat was most likely being run through a meat grinder asshole-first.

Large parrots possess incredible strength in their jaws, so breaking a bone isn't difficult by any stretch. He let go as soon as Butthole Meat Grinder Sonata #9 began, but the damage was already done: the last inch of her tail was broken, and was at a 90 degree angle to the rest of her tail.

The vet considered amputation, but ultimately decided it would heal on its own. It did heal, and there was never an indication that it bothered her, but it was crooked for the rest of her life. A painful reminder that the food chain wasn't as linear as she once thought.

The only one from the series that I have actually loved. I played it on PC and found a modded type of version of the game, I think it was called AlterIWnet which added the bigger things missing from the game like dedicated servers which there were hundreds of, they added custom game types like zombies, gun game and the one where you got 1 shot at start and 1 shot for every kill you made. The playerbase was huge so it was really fun :) they got shut down by Infinity Ward though, and that's when I lost my favorite game :(

Because in the fight he already has a broken left hand. He has a severe handicap from the darkness that weakened him and he still managed to kick my ass so many times. not to mention the fact that he is missing the Greatshield of Artorias.
